Description

The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle NGC MS69 is the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle, created by the U.S. Mint to realize Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ famous Liberty design in the dramatic high-relief form envisioned for the early twentieth-century Double Eagle. The modern issue combines classic U.S. coin art with contemporary minting technology.

The coin contains one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold and carries a $20 denomination. Its unusually thick planchet and sculptural relief make it one of the most distinctive modern U.S. gold collector coins.
